No speed in the Big Ten? Think again," author Brian Fischer writes about Mostert. "The Purdue running back qualified for NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100-meter relay this year. He hasn't made a huge impact on the field for the Boilermakers, but is an ace return man.

Mostert did lead the nation in kickoff returns as a freshman and is line to play a bigger role in Purdue's offense during the 2014 season at running back. He had a solid spring practice. Big things are expected from Mostert, who will need help from the offensive line to produce a big season.

He ran a 10.15 at the regional in the 100 to qualify for the NCAA Championships, which start June 11 in Oregon.

Former Purdue quarterback Drew Brees took notice on Twitter.

“@RMos_8Ball: Man a 10.15 feels great. Headed to Eugene for the NCAA national championship.” Go Boilermakers! Congrats and represent well!
